With Sandro Tonali expected to serve a lengthy suspension, The Telegraph has identified three midfielders on Newcastleâ€TMs radar ahead of the January transfer window.
According to Luke Edwards, we could seek Al-Hilal’s Ruben Neves, who is available on loan. He left Wolves in the summer to join the Saudi Pro League side, and a deal is possible given that both teams are controlled by PIF.
He adds that Kalvin Phillips was a †significant interestâ€TM throughout the summer and is another youngster who might be sought. He turned down a move to Newcastle a few months ago to compete for a starting spot under Pep Guardiola, but a loan move to St James’ Park may be offered to him due to a lack of competition.
Scott McTominay is also highlighted in the piece as a player we considered over the summer, however it remains to be seen whether Manchester United would reinforce a top-four opponent.
The Telegraph reports that loan changes are anticipated, but money could be made accessible in light of Tonali’s impending suspension, which is expected to last at least a year.
It is not an ideal situation for Eddie Howe, who could not have anticipated having his new star midfielder banned, but both could provide short-term options as we approach the winter transfer window.
